Mark Your Calendars: Folk Feet
Speaking as someone who has attended a performance by our very own Polish American Folk Dance Company I can say it is time and money well spent. Not only is the dedication of the men and women who comprise this troupe amazing but the costumes are breathtaking. As you can see…

Reader Contribution du Jour: Today at Lake McCarren
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Well, not exactly a reader contribution per se. This photo was taken by our very own City Councilman, Steve Levin*, and was forwarded to the keeper of the dog (whose name is Ursula) in question . Hey, I like to give credit where it is due!
P.S.: I would be remiss if I did not note that Mr. Levin (and a number of our elected officials, such as Joe Lentol who can be seen at far right) made a brief appearance at today’s Lunch with Lambda!
New York Shitty Video du Jour: Lincoln Restler Represents At Lunch With Lambda

Although I have been endeavoring— quite successfully I’ll add— to keep Saturday’s bloggage on New York Shitty lite (so I can have a break!) this wonderful speech by our 50th Assembly District Democratic Leader from today’s 34th annual Lunch with Lambda is too good to resist posting. Please take a moment to give it a listen, gentle readers!
NOTE: The next fundraising event/rally for Mr. Restler will be conducted May 17th right here at Greenpoint’s very own Red Star Bar! Details to follow…
MARK YOUR CALENDARS: Down In The Ground
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy
What do the Shit Tits, dancing and FDNY explosive experts have in common? Well, come May 17th all the previous (and more) will come together at the visitor’s center of our very own wastewater treatment plant for a evening of dancing and an interactive installation! Given the purpose of this facility one can only wonder what the latter, “interactive”, component of these festivities will entail. I suppose we’ll have to wait until May 17th and find out. NOTE: this event is absolutely free and no RSVP is required!
Down In The Ground: An Evening of Dance Performance & an Interactive Installation
Opening Reception: May 17, 2012 7:00 p.m. (NOTE: the installation will be ongoing until May 31st)

New York Shitty Day Starter: Daniel Squadron Wants Our Support!
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg
Per an anonymous tipster:
If the name Norm Brodsky seems familiar, gentle readers, here’s why:
- He was a founding member of Open Space Alliance.
- He owns the CitiStorage storage facility which is
a colossal cash outblocking our brave march towards open space in Greenpoint. To the amount of $200,000,000 if Rami Metal is to be believed (skip to 8:03 and hear his words for yourself)
And three pillars of our community; Adam Perlmutter, Steve Hindy (Brooklyn Brewery) and Evan Thies (Open Space Alliance members and former Community Board 1 members all) are hosting a rally for Mr. Squadron at his home (READ: CitiStorage)!

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: Community Board 1 Joint Committee Meeting
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
As proudly announced during last month’s OSA “minute”*, the matter of Cooper Park’s barbecue pits is one of two enticing items on next week’s agenda!
Community Board 1 Joint Committee Meeting
May 7, 2012 starting at 6:30 p.m.
Community Board 1 Main Office
435 Graham Avenue
Brooklyn, New York 11222
P.S.: While I am vaguely on the subject, I saw a great deal activity (READ: a small army of Parks employees cleaning, “weed whacking”, etc.) this morning at Cooper Park.
Anyone have the 411 on what’s up?
*Which was actually 3 minutes and 36 seconds— but who’s keeping track?
